Specific embodiments

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0028] A laser processing and cutting feeding structure includes a laser cutting machine body 1. A storage mechanism 2 is slidably connected to the front side inside the laser cutting machine body 1, and feeding mechanisms 3 are provided on both sides inside the laser cutting machine body 1;

[0029] The storage mechanism 2 includes a storage box 21, a limiting rod 22, a return spring 23, a clamping plate 24, and a limiting hole 25. The storage box 21 is slidably connected to the front side inside the laser cutting machine body 1. The limiting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the chamfer of the storage box 21. The return spring 23 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod 22. The limiting hole 25 is opened at the chamfer of the clamping plate 24. The limiting hole 25 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod 22. The clamping plate 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the storage box 21.

[0030] In this embodiment: By providing the laser cutting machine body 1, the storage mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 3 can be supported and positioned. The storage box 21 provides a centralized storage space for the materials to be cut, facilitating the storage of batch materials, ensuring sufficient material supply during the laser cutting process, reducing production interruptions caused by frequent feeding, and improving production efficiency. The limiting rod 22 guides the clamping plate 24, ensuring that the clamping plate 24 moves in a specific direction, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the structure. The reset spring 23 can provide a resilience force after the material on the top of the clamping plate 24 is taken away, enabling the clamping plate 24 to reset upward, allowing the next material to continue moving to the top of the storage box 21. The clamping plate 24 can support and position the material to be cut, and drives the clamping plate 24 to slide downward through the weight of the material to be cut, generating a pressure on the reset spring 23. The limiting hole 25 cooperates with the limiting rod 22 to ensure the movement accuracy and stability of the clamping plate 24, preventing the clamping plate 24 from shifting or shaking during movement, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the storage mechanism 2 on the material.

[0031] Specifically, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a limiting groove 31, a threaded rod 32, a servo motor 33, a support block 34, a hydraulic rod 35, a vacuum rod 36, a suction cup 37, a vacuum hose 38, and a vacuum pump 39. The limiting grooves 31 are opened on both sides inside the laser cutting machine body 1.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 shown, the threaded rod 32 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 31. The servo motor 33 is bolted to the top of the front side of the laser cutting machine body 1. The output end of the servo motor 33 at the rear passes through the laser cutting machine body 1 and is rotatably connected to the laser cutting machine body 1. The front side of the threaded rod 32 is bolted to the output end of the servo motor 33 at the rear. The support block 34 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 32.

[0033] Specifically, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 shown, the hydraulic rod 35 is fixedly connected to the inside of the relative sides of two identical support blocks 34. The vacuum rod 36 is slidably connected to the inside of the relative sides of two identical support blocks 34. The suction cup 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vacuum rod 36. The vacuum hose 38 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum rod 36. The vacuum pump 39 is fixedly connected to the right side of the laser cutting machine body 1. One side of the vacuum hose 38 away from the vacuum rod 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum pump 39.

[0034] In this embodiment: By providing a guiding and limiting function for the movement of the threaded rod 32 and the support block 34 through the setting of the limiting groove 31, the accuracy and stability during the feeding process are ensured. Driven by the servo motor 33, the threaded rod 32 can achieve precise rotational motion, thereby driving the support block 34 to make accurate position adjustments in the horizontal direction. The servo motor 33 provides precise power output, capable of precisely controlling the rotational speed and direction, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the feeding process. The support block 34 serves as the installation foundation for components such as the hydraulic rod 35 and the vacuum rod 36, providing stable support for the feeding operation. At the same time, through cooperation with the threaded rod 32, it can achieve movement in the horizontal direction, thereby accurately conveying the material to the top of the laser cutting machine body 1. The hydraulic rod 35 provides strong thrust and pulling force, enabling the precise movement of the vacuum rod 36 in the vertical direction. It can be adjusted according to the height of different materials and the requirements of the laser cutting equipment to ensure that the suction cup 37 can accurately contact the surface of the material, realizing reliable adsorption and feeding operations. The vacuum rod 36 connects the suction cup 37 and the vacuum hose 38, transmitting the vacuum suction generated by the vacuum pump 39 to the suction cup 37, realizing the adsorption of the material. It can perform precise vertical movement under the action of the hydraulic rod 35, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the feeding process. The suction cup 37 adsorbs the surface of the material through vacuum suction, realizing the grasping and feeding operations of the material. The vacuum hose 38 connects the vacuum rod 36 and the vacuum pump 39, transmitting the vacuum suction generated by the vacuum pump 39 to the suction cup 37. The vacuum pump 39 generates strong vacuum suction, providing the power for the suction cup 37 to adsorb the material.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, a base 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vacuum pump 39, and one side of the base 4 away from the vacuum pump 39 is fixedly connected to the right side of the laser cutting machine body 1.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, a sealing ring 5 is bolted to the side of the vacuum hose 38 close to the vacuum rod 36, and one side of the sealing ring 5 away from the vacuum hose 38 is bolted to the top of the vacuum rod 36.

[0037] In this embodiment: By providing a stable installation foundation for the vacuum pump 39 through the setting of the base 4, it is ensured that the vacuum pump 39 will not shake or displace during operation. By setting the sealing ring 5, vacuum leakage is effectively prevented, ensuring a tight and reliable connection between the vacuum hose 38 and the vacuum rod 36.

[0038] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, a reinforcement ring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic rod 35, and one side of the reinforcement ring 6 away from the hydraulic rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum rod 36.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, a protective pad 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate 24, and anti-slip patterns are engraved on the surface of the protective pad 7.

[0040] In this embodiment: By providing the reinforcing ring 6, when the hydraulic rod 35 pushes the vacuum rod 36 to move vertically, the reinforcing ring 6 can bear greater force, reducing stress concentration at the connection part and preventing loosening or breakage. By providing the protective pad 7, direct contact between the clamping plate 24 and the material can be avoided, reducing scratching and wear of the material surface by the clamping plate 24. Especially for some materials with high surface requirements, the protective pad 7 can effectively protect their appearance quality. By providing anti-slip patterns, the friction with the material is increased, preventing the material from sliding or shifting within the storage bin 21.

[0041] Working principle: First, the user places the laser cutting machine body 1 at a suitable working position. Then, when preparing for laser cutting processing, power on and start the laser cutting machine body 1. After that, the user can slide out the storage bin 21 and place multiple materials to be cut on the top of the clamping plate 24. The materials press on the clamping plate 24 by their own weight, causing the clamping plate 24 to slide downward along the limiting rod 22 while applying pressure to the return spring 23. The limiting rod 22 plays a guiding role for the clamping plate 24 to ensure its smooth movement in a specific direction. Then, the user powers on and starts the servo motor 33. The output end at the rear of the servo motor 33 drives the threaded rod 32 to rotate within the limiting groove 31. Driven by the threaded rod 32, the support block 34 makes precise position adjustments horizontally along the limiting groove 31. When the support block 34 moves to a suitable position above the storage bin 21, the hydraulic rod 35 starts to operate, causing the vacuum rod 36 to move vertically. The hydraulic rod 35 adjusts the position of the vacuum rod 36 to ensure that the suction cup 37 can accurately contact the material surface. The suction cup 37 is connected to the vacuum pump 39 through a vacuum hose 38. The vacuum pump 39 generates a strong vacuum suction force, which is transmitted to the suction cup 37 through the vacuum rod 36, enabling the suction cup 37 to adsorb the material surface, thereby realizing the grasping and loading operation of the material. Immediately afterwards, the servo motor 33 drives the support block 34, and then drives the vacuum rod 36 to move to the front side of the top of the laser cutting machine body 1. Then, release the vacuum suction force of the suction cup 37 and place the material to be cut on the front side of the top of the laser cutting machine body 1. Finally, repeat the above loading process by operating the servo motor 33 and the vacuum pump 39 to achieve continuous and efficient laser cutting processing operations.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
